Installed my KWs, got my TT wheels powdercoated. Tyre fitting and balancing and an alignment tomorrow then drive the thing! I'll take some photos too.

drove it for the first time in 2 weeks and getting ready to say sayonara to it next weekend
MY12 CW Golf GTi
Took my polo in for some new front brakes today and got the air conditioner fixed (wasnt cold and only worked on setting 4 - turned out the fan resistor was gone or some such)
My new brakes are decidedly black, a change from the bright silver affair that was previously on it. Considering im rocking a black car I quite like it.
So, I installed the KWs on Thursday after hours of cussing, skinning knuckles and not having the right tools! TT wheels went on yesterday after powdercoating - had massive scrubbing issues initially due to the lower offset, but raised the ride height probably 15-20mm and it's stopped. I'd like to drop it back down perhaps 5mm but need to find where it's scrubbing in the guard and work out how else to prevent it.. 215 section tyres on the 7.5 wides gives a bit less bag so should hopefully be able to tuck in a little more..
Anyway, here's a photo of how my car looks at the moment..

Fitted my coilovers today with Smead, TheKyle, Stoie, Gareth from CVWC and foff... Was a pretty good day, nice BBQ, and got the car looking great... Got a knock coming from the front left, so may have a loose bolt somewhere, so I'll sort it out tomorrow...
